I agree, in their time. But thanks to a rather large gap in between games and a mainstream market that is so quick to forget classic titles, Fallout wasn't as big of a name as Elder Scrolls after Morrowind and Oblivion, and Fallout 3 brought the name back to prominence. As much as I thoroughly enjoyed Fallout 3, it pains me to say that I imagine that a large number of people who played Fallout 3 had never heard of or played the originals. And no, i don't have proof of that, just a hunch
